🔪 How To Make Hard-Boiled Eggs In The Air Fryer

You're never going to have to wait for water to boil to make eggs again! All you need is your air fryer, a bowl, and some tongs to transfer the hot eggs.

This recipe will make 6 large hard-boiled eggs, but you can cook as many as you like!

1. Preheat. Preheat your air fryer to 250°F (120°C).
2. Place. Arrange 6 eggs (300 grams) in the basket of your air fryer, keeping them in a single layer.
3. Cook. Set your timer for 13 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 17 minutes for hard-boiled eggs (or even up to 18 minutes) and let them cook (*See note).
4. Prepare the ice bath. When the time is almost up, pour 2 cups (475 milliliters) of water (or enough to submerge your eggs) into a bowl and add a couple of handfuls of ice.
5. Transfer. When the eggs are done cooking, use tongs to carefully transfer them to the ice bath.
6. Cool. Let your eggs cool in the water for about 5 minutes (or until cool enough to handle).
7. Peel. Peel your eggs and serve immediately, or store them for later.

🍴 How To Use Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eat your hard-boiled eggs by themselves, or use them in some of your favorite recipes! They taste fantastic as deviled eggs, in egg salad, sliced and served on a turkey chef salad, or added to a fresh garden salad! Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

• All air fryers have different wattages and can differ in the amount of time it takes to cook your eggs to your desired level of doneness (like microwaves). If this is your first time, I recommend only cooking a couple of eggs and checking to see if you need to increase the cooking time at all.
• You can cook up to a dozen eggs at once as long as they are all in a single layer in your air fryer.
• The shell of your eggs may have some raised bumps when done cooking. Don't worry about this as it is just from the hot air. The inside is still cooked perfectly fine.
• Placing your eggs into an ice bath helps to immediately stop the cooking process and makes them easier to peel.
• If using different-sized eggs, your cooking time may vary slightly.
• Use room-temperature eggs to help prevent cracking during cooking. If needed, you can place them into a bowl of lukewarm water while you wait for the air fryer to preheat.

Table 1: Air Fryer Cook Times

Time	Result
12 minutes	Very soft-boiled eggs
13 minutes	Soft-boiled eggs
14 minutes	Creamy medium-boiled eggs
15 minutes	Medium boiled eggs
16 minutes	Medium-hard boiled eggs
17 minutes	Creamy hard-boiled eggs
18 minutes	Firm hard-boiled eggs

It is important to note that these times may vary based on the wattage and type of air fryer that you have. Therefore, you can use this table as a rough guideline for how long you want to cook your eggs and adjust them as necessary.

🥡 Storing

You can store your hard-boiled eggs, either peeled or unpeeled. If they still have the shell, they can be stored in a container in the fridge for up to 1 week. If they have been peeled, keep them submerged in water (changing the water daily) or in a sealed container with damp paper towels over them for 1 week.
